THE NEW YORK STRIKE.
The Freight Haudlers on tho Piers
Leave Work-Not Much Change
In the Situation

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The extension Of the
great New York strike to the freight hand
lers on the railroad piers, took place
to-day, and Is the most serious blow TO com
merce that the union men have struck. Its
effect on the Jersey Central railroad was al
most complete suspension Of business The
men turned out so suddenly that the com
pany was left at great disadvantage, and
its inability to deliver freight was the cause
Of much inconvenience TO merchants. The
men on the Pennsylvania piers along North
river are ready 10 come out the very minute
the time for receiving the answer to their
demands from the company has expired.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Company's freight is handled by the Storm
Transportation company and they are In
sympathy with the freight handlers on the
other lines and are ready to come out any
time. The Lehigh Valley freight handlers
at Pier 2, North River, have also notified
their employers that unless their demand for
an increase of salary was granted they would
quit work at noon to-day. At the New York
Central pier 26, the superintendent said the
company had not received any demand from
its men. Everything was quiet.
1t IS reported that all these men are organ
lied and will join the strikers as soon as.tne
word Is passed for them to do so.
The boat service Of the Boston and PrOvi-
dence line has been suspended for the pres
ent. Two boats are laid up for repairs and
difficulty in getting coal and freight handled
was the cause Of the withdrawal Of the other.
1t was reported to-day that conferences
had been held last night between the coal
managers and Knights OF Labor and another
conference was said to have been arranged
for to-day with Austin Corbin, president OF
the Reading Company. The president OF
one Of the other companies said be heard In
fimatfona of a strike beinQ ordered at PHIL
adelphia In order to make Reading come TO
an agreement with the coal handlers In New
York.
At the Office Of the coal companies II Is
stated that there IS really no change In the
situation to-day. The Pennsylvania coal
company reports that they expect to move
more coal to-day than they have on any day
since the strike began.
